In addition, failure to properly engineer and install the communications backbone can have devastating effects on system reliability and data integrity. Our experience with other Early Flood Warning systems (EFWS) has shown that the most common system design oversights are in the area of radio communications. SCC has a proven track record in the design and installation of reliable telemetry communications systems for EFWS applications. In addition, SCC has a reputation for troubleshooting, re-engineering and placing systems in operation that in some cases never operated due to communications flaws. It is our understanding that the Regional Building Department (RBD) will obtain FCC licensure on a clear VHF frequency for this system. SCC will perform theoretical and field tests (1M, XMOD, noise floor, fade and multipath) prior to equipment order to insure system integrity and compatibility with existing radio equipment/frequencies at locations where equipment is co- located. sec will notify RBD immediately in the event of a problem and suggest possible solutions. We understand that access to radio sites owned and operated by the City of Colorado Springs is available for the installation of radio repeaters for this project. Discussions with radio shop personnel indicate that there should be no problem co-locating the necessary equipment depending on the specific frequency(s) involved. Exact RF equipment configuration and specifications for all equipment to be located at City radio sites will be submitted to the radio shop for approval prior to equipment order. sec understands and applauds the radio shop policy of not allowing contractors to install RF equipment at City of Colorado springs radio sites. It is our intention to work closely with radio shop personnel during their installation of our equipment and to provide support and training if necessary. SCC personnel will be available to be on-site during this installation if requested by the radio shop. SCC will perform certification and benchmark testing of the equipment at the completion of installation. SCC maintains complete radio frequency (RF) testing, alignment and repair facilities in Boulder, Colorado. sec personnel are experienced in all phases of communications system design, field surveying, licensing, installation, testing, certification, and maintenance. Due to the critical performance requirements of this system, the RF system design for this project includes: see - Pikes Peak Early Flood warning Proposal 4
